<p>No! 4900 S Lakeshore Drive is the Ramada Inn (sort of ) near the University of Chicago, a mile-and-a-half from campus, and 5-6 miles from anything like downtown.</p>
<p>You can tell a lot about where something is in Chicago by the address. North/South and East/West are measured from the middle of the Loop downtown, a few blocks from Millennium Park. There are about 8 numbered blocks to a mile. So South 4900 anything is a little more than 6 miles south of the middle of the Loop. And of course maybe east or west of there, potentially a looooong way west. This address, though, like everything in Hyde Park and Kenwood, is somewhat east of the dividing line, since the lake shore extends SSE from the downtown area.</p>
